A bright light filled the room as the sun rose to signal morning. In the bed Marx laid there barely starting to wake up as the sun filled covered his eyes. He rubbed his eyes and sat up slowly as he winced from the pain in his body.

Marx: (Is this someone's house? No, it looks like more like the inside of a mansion room)

He looked around the room and it was neat and tidy, it was only about a minute before someone opened the door.

Crusch: Great your awake, you sure had quite the battle didn't you?

Marx: Uh hi, I'm sorry but where am I?

Crusch: You are currently staying in the The House of Kartsen.

Marx: I'm sorry if I caused you any trouble.

Crusch: Trouble? Do you have any idea what you were able to do? You took down an archbishop and you call that being trouble?

Marx: Well to be honest I'm pretty sure I wasn't the one to get the final blow.

Crusch: Well even if that's the case you did the most work to get that archbishop down and open for the attack. In my book that still counts as your victory.

Marx: Thank you, I appreciate it.

He tried to sit up a bit more but was unable to from the injuries.

Crusch: Woah easy there, Felix only managed to heal most of you but some of the injuries you got were a bit more difficult so he was only able to heal the less severe places. He will be here shortly to heal the rest.

Marx: Alright, thank you again for what your doing for me. If possible I'd like to be up and ready to leave by tomorrow morning.

Crusch: Why so soon? Do you have somewhere you have to be?

Marx: Yeah, I have to get back to a place called the sanctuary. That's where my master Subaru is at and I shouldn't have even left his side.

Crusch: Wait Subaru? Subaru Natsuki?

Marx: Yes that's him, you know him I take it?

Crusch: Well yeah, he's the one who helped take down the white whale and managed to help bring me back safely here at the cost of my memories.

Marx: Wait, you've also fell to his attack on ones memories?

She nodded looking a bit saddened being reminded of it.

Marx: Then I guess he was telling the truth. Damn it.

He quietly said as he hit the side of the bed in a bit of  anger.

Crusch: Slowly I've been trying to remember everything and I think it does work. I've remembered who Felix was and some of the things we did. I've also have had some other things return but haven't been able to fully understand them.

Marx: You've been able to get some back? Then that means that it's still possible to get them back.

A glimmer of hope sparked inside of him as he thought about it. Even if he didn't know very much about her, Subaru could most certainly help with it. A few hours passed with Crusch and Marx exchanging information about what she remembered and what he used to do. Just as he was in thought the door opened once again and a demi human came out. It was a cat like human with a sort of maid outfit on.

Felix: Miss Crusch are you in- Oh I see he's finally awake.

Crusch: Felix good thing that your here. I think you should finish healing uhh- I'm sorry I didn't even ask you your name.

Marx: Oh right, it's Marx, Marx Waymann.

Felix: Oh is that what his name is, sounds very nice to me.

Marx: W-wait this is Felix?

Crusch: Yes I know how his appearance may seem, but he is indeed Felix.

She giggled a bit from his confused expression, and Felix also giggled a bit as he made his way to the other side of his bed. He placed his hands on his back and he almost instantly felt relief as he healed him.

Felix: Does that feel alright? I'm not hurting anything am I?

Marx: No it actually feels pleasant, thank you for doing this.

Felix: It's the least I could do since you helped kill that archbishop.

Crusch: Well I'm going to make some tea, would you like some Marx?

Marx: If it's not trouble then yes.

She smiled and nodded as she went out the door closing it behind her.

Felix: You sure are brave heading out there to face that archbishop alone.

Marx: Yeah I gue- Wait how did you know I was going out there to face them?

Felix: One of the soldiers here told me and a few other knights about it. That's how Reinhard was able to find you and just in time too.

Marx: Should I assume you know Subaru as well?

Felix: Yup, he's helped out quite a lot here.

Marx: Looks like he's pretty popular around here then. Also do you think that I'll be healed up and ready to move by tomorrow?

Felix: Tomorrow? Are you sure, I mean all your injuries will be gone and healed but you did lose a lot of blood. I'm not sure if you would have the energy.

Marx: Well then can someone at least take me there? If it's not too much to ask, I just really need to head back to where Subaru is.

Felix: I think we should ask miss Crusch about it and see what she says.

Just a he says that she comes back with a tray that has a teapot along with some cups.

Crusch: I'm back and I hope you don't mind green tea.

Marx: Not at all, any tea would be nice.

She grabs a cup and pours him some before giving it to him. She then proceeds to serve herself and Felix.

Felix: Thank you miss Crusch.

She nodded and she sat down placing her cup on the little drawer next to the bed.

Crusch: So how did you come to know Subaru?

He took a sip of his tea before setting it down and answering.

Marx: Well he's the one that saved me from my curse, you see I was turned into stone many years ago and it was only recently that I've been back.

Crusch: It really seems like he's the one always helping others.

Marx: I guess that is the case.

He gave a slight chuckle as he took another drink and looked out the window to see that the sun was beginning to set. He thought about what Subaru might be doing and if Rem might have at least woken up.

[Back at the Sanctuary]

Subaru was walking to the trial temple as Emilia was getting prepared to attempt the second trial. He was joined by Otto and Ram who also wanted to support her in hopes she will be able to complete the second one as well.

Emilia: I'm not sure about this Subaru, what if it's a lot more painful then the last one.

Subaru: Hey don't think like that, listen even if it is I know you'll be able to get through it.

Emilia: Thank you Subaru, I guess it is best to see the good side of it. Promise me you'll be waiting out here for me okay.

Subaru: Of course, I pinky swear on it.

Emilia: You... Pinky swear?

Subaru: Oh yeah here look let me see your hand.

She lifted her hand out and Subaru took it and held out her pinky finger and folded his on hers.

Subaru: There pinky swear. Now I can't break it, it's a thing we did back where I'm from.

Emilia: Oh I see well then you pinky swore so now you can't break it right?

Subaru: Yup your right, can't break it no matter what.

She smiled at him and she went up the steps leading into the entrance of the trial.

Subaru: Dont forget Emilia, I always believe in you!

She nodded back and waved before stepping into the trial and beginning it. They all stood there as they saw the blue light come on to signal that the trial has started.

Subaru: Well these things usually take an hour so we're gonna be here for a bit.

Otto: What was that thing you did, a pinky swear?

Subaru: Yeah it's just a thing we do when we hold a promise back where I'm from.

Otto: I must say you have some strange tradition Subaru, but it did seem to do the trick for miss Emilia.

Ram: Honestly I'm surprised something foolish like that even exists where your from Barusu.

Subaru: Hey come on it's not foolish it's a real thing and people like it.

She simply turned ignoring his comment. Subaru was about to protest more until he felt a tug on his leg. He looked down to see Beatrice was the one doing it.

Subaru: Oh Beaco, is there something you need?

Beatrice: There is something you need to see I suppose. Follow me.

She began walking away and he hesitated to follow as he promised Emilia he would wait for her.

Subaru: (It'll probably be a second, shouldn't take up too much time right?)

He thought to himself as she led him to the house they got into when they arrived. She opened the door and let Subaru in first closing the door behind her.

Subaru: What's this about Beaco? Did something happen?

She simply pointed to the room Rem was in and said nothing. Subaru grew a bit worried as he thought something might have happened to her. He went to the door and slowly opened revealing small parts of the room before opening it fully. His eyes widened and was filled with joy as he saw in the bed was now a fully conscious and happy...... Rem.
